Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#521 - Wood Sea Urchin

"Dong ~"

After a muffled sound, a rumbling noise followed.

The originally flat ground immediately began to vibrate slightly.

Subsequently, a small slope about a meter high slowly rose up, looking from a distance like a solitary grave suddenly erected on a flat ground.

Abrupt and eye-catching.

"Chi!"

In the next moment, the mound was suddenly broken open, and amidst the splashing soil and rocks, a verdant vine like a spirit snake shot into the sky!

Curving and winding, it grew as tall as seven or eight meters before stopping.

At this time, the vine was winding, its branches were dense, and its shape was natural. Except for the absence of leaves, it was almost a perfect plant.

However, on the branches and thorns of such a vine, a person was hanging at this moment.

The intense pain made this ninja, even one who had undergone rigorous training, unable to bear it for a moment, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

However, even in this situation, he still looked unwilling to submit, and when he looked at Liang Yue below, his eyes were full of determination and madness.

Slowly, he struggled to raise one of his hands, trembling, gritting his teeth, and began to try to draw the short knife from his back.

Then, in the next moment.

Accompanied by a muffled "Pfft ~" sound.

The vine that pierced through his chest cavity suddenly underwent a violent secondary growth!

The situation was as if someone had implanted a super-large sea urchin in his chest.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of sharp thorns burst out simultaneously!

The dense branches, along with the ninja's torso, limbs, were directly pierced through, not to mention the almost close-at-hand brain.

For a time, fresh blood flowed down along the dense branches in streams, and a strong bloody smell permeated the air!

Seeing that his opponent was completely dead, in the next moment, Liang Yue retracted his spiritual power, along with the energy that supported the growth of the vine, back into his body.

Whoosh ~ ~ ~

As a result, the originally strong and vibrant verdant vine instantly lost all its vitality, becoming withered and gray, and turned into a pile of ashes and debris in an instant.

The remnants on the branches also fell down one after another, and even the pit on the ground was smoothed out with a wave of his hand.

Afterwards, Liang Yue waved his sleeves, turned around, and slowly walked towards his seat outside the arena.

… …

"Baga! How could Ryunosuke fail! I don't believe it! That guy must have used some conspiracy!"

"Shut up, Narita!"

"At this moment, representatives of all countries with international influence are here, don't let us become a laughing stock, Narita."

"… … Kuh! !"

"Ryunosuke's earth-based ninjutsu has almost reached the peak level in our island nation. I think even in China, it would not be easy for someone to defeat him.

This time, he was probably targeted by a restraining technique."

"It should be, wood-based, between water and earth, can also be regarded as a combination of the two, and itself belongs to a higher level of existence.

For basic earth-based ninjutsu, there will indeed be some attribute restraint."

"Wood-based… Taoism? Our island nation is indeed not very good at this type of magic."

"Kuh! This matter will never be left like this! In the future, I will definitely get it back with interest!"

"Alright, Basho Sa! Let's discuss this matter later. Kimura-za before, Ryunosuke now, our island nation has already lost two games in a row.

The next third game must not, absolutely not, go wrong again!"

"Hai ~!"

… …

Unlike the slightly heavy atmosphere on the island nation's side, after Liang Yue won two consecutive victories, the Chinese contestant seats also seemed a little relaxed.

In fact, apart from the group of islanders opposite, almost everyone sitting and watching in the arena at this time was very active.

The ambassadors of various countries and their families can be said to be unconcerned and aloof, marveling when they should marvel, laughing when they should laugh, completely ignoring the thoughts of the island nation's representatives and spectators.

For a time, various loud discussions were endless.

On the contrary, the Chinese audience and officials were still a little reserved.

Some old gentlemen even picked up the airs of the former Celestial Empire again, their faces full of red light, but they still had to put on a profound and pretentious look.

Between the flow of their eyes, it was also difficult to hide the sense of satisfaction and gratification in their hearts.

However, compared to the lively and exclamatory words of the people in the audience seats, the focus of discussion among the contestants around Liang Yue was more professional.

Some people said that the wood-based Taoism that Liang Yue displayed on the field before seemed to be inconsistent with the laws of ordinary warlocks, and there was no principle of mutual generation and restraint in Qimen Dunjia, which was really confusing.

Some people felt that his concept of using magic seemed to be more in line with the true nature of cultivators, what five elements and eight trigrams, mutual generation and restraint, in the end, it still had to be based on oneself.

Whether it is technique or concept, it is ultimately just a difference in the means of application, and in the end, it still has to return to oneself.

To be honest, Liang Yue was also very curious about the Chinese Otherworlder world in the current DC universe, and he also wanted to have in-depth exchanges with these people from different sects.

What is the root of all qi, the ancestral qi of heaven and earth, sounds very mysterious.

If it can be mutually verified with one's own cultivation system and fully combined, it should be able to spark an unusually brilliant flame.

Liang Yue was also very much looking forward to this!

However, the current arena was obviously not an ideal place for communication.

So, after a few simple exchanges with the others around, everyone returned to calm.

At this moment, the Chinese and Japanese representatives on the rostrum had also taken their seats one after another, preparing to draw lots and then begin the third round of ability exchanges.

After a while, two notes were once again handed to the old man in front of the microphone who was responsible for announcing the results.

The old man opened the note and took a look. The originally smiling old face suddenly showed a look of astonishment, and his lips began to tremble involuntarily.

But after a moment of silence, taking a deep breath, and swallowing his saliva, the old man still gritted his teeth and spoke loudly.

"This Sino-Japanese Exchange Conference, the third round! The one appearing from the island nation is ~ Jian Yi! The one fighting from China is, Dao Yi!"

… …

"That's too much ~ a little!"

Liang Yue, who was sitting in the contestant seat below, suddenly heard this sound, and the tea he had picked up suddenly stopped in front of him. With a glance, he immediately looked towards Yuan Datou on the rostrum.

Who knew that Yuan Shikai also had a look of astonishment at this time.

It's just that his gaze was currently fixed on the young man surnamed Wang on the rostrum who was responsible for drawing lots.

Spreading his hands, opening his mouth, the gaze he cast was also full of incomprehension.

That appearance, although he did not speak, clearly expressed a meaning.

"What's going on with you? You can't keep using the same person all the time! In broad daylight, in the bright world…"
